KENNESAW, Ga. – The Ninth Annual Lexi's Day game against Georgia Tech is scheduled for Tuesday, April 26 at Bailey Park beginning at 6 p.m. (ET).
 
This year's Lexi's Day game that partners the Kennesaw State softball program with the Alexis Kaiser Foundation in an effort to assist local young people who suffer with a neuromuscular disease will have extra meaning to former head coach and event founder Scott Whitlock.
 
The 2016 honoree, selected by the Alexis Kaiser Foundation, is 11-year old Tyler George, son of David and Tracey Britt George, who played for Whitlock from 1991-94 and earned NAIA All-American honors in 1994. Tyler, who suffers from cerebral palsy, will receive a tricycle that will help improve his quality of life.
 
"We are so excited just to be nominated and picked for this unbelievable gift for Tyler," Tracey George said. "This will not only benefit Tyler with his physical disabilities but he will be able to enjoy the outdoors a little more."
 
Fans attending the game will have the opportunity to support Lexi's Day by making a $10 contribution to the Kaiser Foundation. Cash as well as checks made out to the Alexis Kaiser Foundation will reward those contributing fans with a fine meal from the Marietta Fish Market.
 
Meals (limited to 150) will begin being served at 5 p.m. in the Teasley Suite of the Bobbie Bailey Building and a pregame ceremony recognizing the George family will take place at 5:50 p.m.  Tickets will be available at gates or purchased in advance by coming by the Department of Athletics office located in the KSU Convocation Center.
